Baltimore Sun's MLB power rankings for the week of May 2

The Cubs had a tough weather week with two postponements, and Kris Bryant rolled his ankle, but otherwise, it was smooth sailing for the best team in baseball this week. They also wore zoot suits on their road trip last night. Who doesn’t like that?

As bizarre as it was to see the Nationals swept at home by the Phillies, they turned that around and went to St. Louis to sweep the Cardinals. A long road trip against the Cardinals, Royals and Cubs will tell us all we need to know about the Nationals. So far, so good.

With the first month of the season out of the way, some shake-ups around the top of the majors led to some big movement in this week’s power rankings. The top two remained unchanged, but free-falls by the Cardinals, Dodgers, and yes, even the Orioles, made for a lot of shuffling in the first week of May. As always, these rankings are completely subjective, yet objectively correct.
